When I found out at the 16 week appointment that they weren't going to do my A/S until 21 weeks, I decided I was too impatient to wait that long to find out the sex, and we got an elective ultrasound yesterday. Totally frivolous, but for $40 I felt like it was completely worth the money, since it was such a nice setting and easy process, and fun to see the baby again. I guess we won't go painting the nursery till it's confirmed at the 21 week scan, but the tech said she was 99.8% sure
I am the same way I can't wait until 20 weeks! I don't have time to be waiting around that long. lol I scheduled an elective at 16.5 weeks. We go in 2 weeks for the ultrasound. I can't wait!
Congrats! I didn't even realize an elective ultrasound was an option.
I knew some friends of ours had done one so I Googled it and found several places in my city. I'm sure they mostly make their money on the 3D scans later in the pregnancy.
